Kevin only knows how to do AWESOME. Nothing he does is "that'll do". It has to function to perfection, and be of great quality. Great work Kevin. Looking forward to next season.

It's people like me that make the 16gig an option. I have one and it has 4 gigs free. But, I don't do nearly as much with my phone, as others do with theirs.

Class tomorrow. Still open seats. Last minute is fine, just pm me.

I have thetintdude.com coming to the house tonight. They are doing just the fronts on the wifes new car. $70. They came highly recommended from Hoblick, if you guys remember him.

4 spots left for next week. This is a great deal.

I had a contractor at the house yesterday to do an assessment for a quote. I was very pleased with his way of doing business. He was a referral, and just put a roof on a friends house. His name is Russ, with Integrity construction. His number is 614-397-7267. Ideally, I wanted him to find evidence of hail damage, so I could file a claim and use those funds to upgrade the roof to metal. He is very informed on how insurance companies work. As for why a metal roof? Well, it's F@#$ing metal and I want something that will last and be very durable. A metal roof should last 15-20 years. Even longer, depending on the area. Growing up in Vermont, they were the way to go so the heavy snow would slide off and not weigh on the roof over a long period of time. It is common up there for people to shovel off their roof. Is it needed here in Ohio? Maybe not for that reason. I also plan to do a solar project. I would rather have a metal rook for it to be mounted to. That's just my preference. You're looking at probably $10k-$15k, depending on the size of the home. We will likely do the 3 car detached soon, and then the house once it needs it. Give Russ a call. He has my confidence and I'm looking forward to the work he will be doing.

Very happy to see this Andy. Congrats to you both for the strength and support it must have taken.

Nice vid. Looking forward to the write up.

How did the rally go, Doc?

Dollars in the bank. Good of you to organize it, Doc.

The term "quality lighting" make me realize I don't have the lights on much. And if I do, I don't really care or notice about good or bad lighting.

Links are above. Not sure if you're all gas, just how that works.

You have to have receipts for work done. If you did it your self, you can still submit it. You will probably be inspected, as they did with me. But, the guy was cool. and told me about the insulation deal and a few other things. When the money comes in, it's just a bonus. New furnace went in in April, we still have not been paid. Got paid for the hot water heater three weeks after turning it in.

That 30% on alternative energy is not looking like it will be there in the future. I did a new heat pump unit it. My Geo issue was likely in the ground. On top of the unit itself going bad. Replacing the unit would be $15-$20K. Having a problem with what was in the ground, because it was so old, another $10-$20k. I went with a 19.6 seer communicating unit. Still spent a chunk of $$. But it is very low energy use, and that is all we really wanted. Found the rebate form. Looks like $250 for weatherization.

Home Depot let me return the gun after a year. I picked up an Arrow Power Shot. It worked great, and I was finished up in 20 minutes. As much as I was looking forward to blowing up the Stanley gun, I was happy with a full refund on it.

So, I was finally able to get around to blowing in the insulation on Saturday. 66 bails, covering about 10" throughout the attic. I went through Manard's and got the 11% they do. I'm not thinking I will be able to do any other rebate from and energey provider. I'm still looking into that though. Over all, we had a mix of R13 and R19 already in the attic. In some places it was layered, and in other areas there were small patches not covered. I evened out what I could. Prior to adding the insulation, I was advised to follow any wiring in the attic to any light fixtures or other items. These are areas where you have heat lose. On almost oll of them, I could see light around the edges. I used spray foam to seal around the edges, and recover it with the exsisting insulation. I then rolled out sections of relective shield. This looks like bubble wrap with tinfoil over it. I wedged it all the way to the bottom of the rafters, stapling it to the rafters. This is done so the spray insulation does not cover the sofets and still allows air flow. See my write up on staple guns in the consumer reports. This was an easy job that was made hard with tools that didn't work. Once that was done, I staple rulers we made to the ceiling joist's all around the attic. This allowed me to maintain the correct depth while blowing in the insulation. Once all the prep work was done, adding the insulation was kind of fun. I had two people opening and feeding bails into the hopper. It's a messy job, so just accept it. I was covered in the stuff. I wore a face mask and I was fine. It took about an hour to blow in 1500sqft of attic @ 10". Clean up was very quick and easy. In total, I spent $400 on insulation and $45 on renting the Hopper. Home depot will rent you the hopper for free if you buy 20 bails or more. But, I liked the Manards deal. Now to see the coming months energy bill. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l284/dsnowgod/77FF3F8E-6CDB-447B-A0E4-38125FE791AE_zpsi59e0tsf.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l284/dsnowgod/6BC02587-6D17-479D-9E20-442CFA6B2BC6_zpsjl5ba1dx.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l284/dsnowgod/1F69BAAE-2C88-4152-875A-B2DB5EA96199_zps1en8ufan.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l284/dsnowgod/3C1AC552-A12C-4909-861A-F9858207A643_zpsjc7k1rn0.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l284/dsnowgod/F96C1B38-EA94-4CD2-8A38-A8372F494C90_zpspihbkkna.jpg

Congrats. Looking forward to pics. Even with AWD, snow tires make it better in the snow.

Bump

Pics of you in a spandex suit, or it's all BS. Congrats

This should be a nice small class before the weather gets too cold.

I pulled in there for a minute with another black RX 7. Parking a was a pain, so we rolled out. Your car looks good.

Welcome. Was the second pic take at Blendon Wood during the Mazda meet?

^^ Hmmm, do I dare go back through Alabama? Doc, when you get back I would like to get together and talk over some rally stuff. Maybe meet at QSL.

Looks like 5 slots left. This is a great price for some racing fun.
